Graviola as a Cancer Cure
The graviola fruit is called guanabana in Mexico
and is a large fruit sometimes watermelon sized.
This information does not come from TriUnity. The
White lightning product from TriUnity does contain graviola in it however and is
a good source of this beneficial fruit. The following information comes from an
HSI health newsletter which is trying to sell you on their newsletter which you
would need to subscribe to in order to get access to their source of graviola.
What you need to know from this is that graviola is a strong cancer warrior
no matter what source you choose to use. Unlike
chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts
down and kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells!

OUTRAGE!!
Billion-dollar drug company hides astounding discovery of a natural
cancer killer. 10,000 times stronger than chemo—but without the side
effects!
One pharmaceutical company actually made the 'discovery of the century' – a
miracle breakthrough that could save you or someone you love from the ravages of
cancer. But…
They hid the secret for SEVEN FULL YEARS…with no plans to tell anyone about it
ever! Why? Because the substance they found is completely natural… so they
couldn’t take out a patent on it. Until one brave researcher came forward to
break the silence—and tell the world about this true cancer cure.
How many people died in vain
while this billion-dollar
drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?
The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the
Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your
doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of
survival. The future has never looked more promising.
Research shows that with extracts from this
miraculous tree it now may be possible to...
 | Attack cancer safely and effectively with an
all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight
loss and hair loss
| Protect your immune system and avoid deadly
infections
| Feel stronger and healthier throughout the
course of the treatment
| Boost your energy and improve your outlook on
life |
| | |
The source of this information is just as
stunning: It comes from one of America's largest drug manufacturers, the fruit
of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's! What those tests
revealed was nothing short of mind numbing... Extracts from the tree were shown
to:
| Effectively target and kill malignant cells in
12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic
cancer.
| The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000
times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin,
a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
| What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound
extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and
kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells! |
| |
The amazing anti-cancer properties of the
Graviola tree have been extensively researched--so why haven't you heard
anything about it? If Graviola extract is as half as promising as it appears to
be--why doesn't every single oncologist at every major hospital insist on using
it on all his or her patients?
The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how
easily our health--and for many, our very lives (!)--are controlled by money and
power.
Graviola--the
plant that worked too well
One of America's biggest billion-dollar drug
makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola,
a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.
Various parts of the Graviola tree--including the
bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds--have been used for centuries by
medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma,
liver problems and arthritis. Going on very little documented scientific
evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree's
anti-cancerous properties--and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved
itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.
But that's where the Graviola story nearly
ended.
The company had one huge problem with the
Graviola tree--it's completely natural, and so, under federal law, not
patentable. There's no way to make serious profits from it.
It turns out the drug company invested nearly
seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree's most powerful
anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of
what makes the Graviola so potent, they'd be able to patent it and make their
money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be
replicated. There was no way the company could protect its profits--or even make
back the millions it poured into research.
As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their
testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved
the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!
Luckily, however, there was one scientist from
the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn't let him see such atrocity
committed. Risking his career, he contacted a company that's dedicated to
harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.
Miracle
unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute
were alerted to the news of Graviola, they began tracking the research done on
the cancer-killing tree. Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola--and
its shocking cover-up--came in fast and furious...
...The National Cancer Institute performed the
first scientific research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola's
"leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying
malignant cells." Inexplicably, the results were published in an
internal report and never released to the public...
...Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an
immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests--yet no
double-blind clinical trials, the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and
journals use to judge a treatment's value--were ever initiated...
...A study published in the Journal of Natural
Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South
Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon
cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used
chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin..."
...The most significant part of the Catholic
University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively
target the cancer cells leaving healthy cells untouched. Unlike
chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells
(such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of
nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.
...A study at Purdue University recently found
that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell
lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung
cancers...
Seven years of
Silence Broken--it's finally here!
A limited supply of Graviola extract, grown and
harvested by indigenous people in Brazil, is finally available in America. The
full Graviola story--including where you can get it and how to use it--is
included in Beyond Chemotherapy: New Cancer Killers, Safe as Mother's Milk,
a Health Sciences Institute FREE special bonus report on natural substances that
will effectively revolutionize the fight against cancer.

Graviola is a small, upright evergreen tree, 5–6 m high,
with large, glossy, dark green leaves. It produces a large, heart-shaped, edible
fruit that is 15–20 cm in diameter, is yellow-green in color, and has white
flesh inside. Graviola is indigenous to most of the warmest tropical areas in
South and North America, including the Amazon. The fruit is sold in local
markets in the tropics, where it is called guanábana in Spanish-speaking
countries and graviola in Brazil. The fruit pulp is excellent for making
drinks and sherbets and, though slightly sour-acid, can be eaten out of hand.
Tribal & Herbal Medicine Uses
All parts of the graviola tree are used in natural medicine
in the tropics, including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit, and fruit seeds.
Different properties and uses are attributed to the different parts of the tree.
Generally, the fruit and fruit juice are taken for worms and parasites, to cool
fevers, to increase mother's milk after childbirth, and as an astringent for
diarrhea and dysentery. The crushed seeds are used against internal and external
parasites, head lice, and worms. The bark, leaves, and roots are considered
sedative, antispasmodic, hypotensive, and nervine, and a tea is made for various
disorders toward those effects.
Graviola has a long, rich history of use in herbal medicine
as well as a lengthy recorded indigenous use. In the Peruvian Andes, a leaf tea
is used for catarrh (inflammation of mucous membranes) and the crushed seed is
used to kill parasites. In the Peruvian Amazon the bark, roots, and leaves are
used for diabetes and as a sedative and antispasmodic. Indigenous tribes in
Guyana use a leaf and/or bark tea as a sedative and heart tonic. In the
Brazilian Amazon a leaf tea is used for liver problems, and the oil of the
leaves and unripe fruit is mixed with olive oil and used externally for
neuralgia, rheumatism, and arthritis pain. In Jamaica, Haiti, and the West
Indies the fruit and/or fruit juice is used for fevers, parasites and diarrhea;
the bark or leaf is used as an antispasmodic, sedative, and nervine for heart
conditions, coughs, flu, difficult childbirth, asthma, hypertension, and
parasites.
Plant Chemicals
Many active compounds and chemicals have been found in
graviola, as scientists have been studying its properties since the 1940s. Most
of the research on graviola focuses on a novel set of chemicals called Annonaceous
acetogenins. Graviola produces these natural compounds in its leaf and stem,
bark, and fruit seeds. Three separate research groups have confirmed that these
chemicals have significant antitumorous properties and selective toxicity
against various types of cancer cells (without harming healthy cells) publishing
eight clinical studies on their findings. Many of the acetogenins have
demonstrated selective toxicity to tumor cells at very low dosages—as little
as 1 part per million. Four studies were published in 1998 which further specify
the chemicals and acetogenins in graviola which are demonstrating the strongest
anticancerous, antitumorous, and antiviral properties. In a 1997 clinical study,
novel alkaloids found in graviola fruit exhibited antidepressive effects in
animals.
Annonaceous acetogenins are only found in the Annonaceae
family (to which graviola belongs). These chemicals in general have been
documented with antitumorous, antiparasitic, insecticidal, and antimicrobial
activities. Mode of action studies in three separate laboratories have recently
determined that these acetogenins are superb inhibitors of enzyme processes that
are only found in the membranes of cancerous tumor cells. This is why they are
toxic to cancer cells but have no toxicity to healthy cells. Purdue University,
in West Lafayette, Indiana, has conducted a great deal of the research on the
acetogenins, much of which, has been funded by The National Cancer Institute
and/or the National Institute of Health (NIH). Thus far, Purdue University
and/or its staff have filed at least nine U.S. and/or international patents on
their work around the antitumorous and insecticidal properties and uses of these
acetogenins.
In 1997, Purdue University published information with
promising news that several of the Annonaceous acetogenins were " . . . not
only are effective in killing tumors that have proven resistant to anti-cancer
agents, but also seem to have a special affinity for such resistant cells."
In several interviews after this information was publicized, the head
pharmacologist in Purdue's research explained how this worked. As he explains
it, cancer cells that survive chemotherapy can develop resistance to the agent
originally used as well as to other, even unrelated, drugs. This phenomenon is
called multi-drug resistance (MDR). One of the main ways that
cancer cells develop resistance to chemotherapy drugs is by creating an
intercellular pump which is capable of pushing anticancer agents out of the cell
before they can kill it. On average, only about two percent of the cancer cells
in any given person might develop this pump—but they are the two percent that
can eventually grow and expand to create multi-drug-resistant tumors. Some of
the latest research on acetogenins reported that they were capable of shutting
down these intercellular pumps, thereby killing multi-drug-resistant tumors.
Purdue researchers reported that the acetogenins preferentially killed
multi-drug-resistant cancer cells by blocking the transfer of ATP—the chief
source of cellular energy—into them. A tumor cell needs energy to grow and
reproduce, and a great deal more to run its pump and expel attacking agents. By
inhibiting energy to the cell , it can no longer run its pump. When acetogenins
block ATP to the tumor cell over time, the cell no longer has enough energy to
operate sustaining processes—and it dies. Normal cells seldom develop such a
pump; therefore, they don't require large amounts of energy to run a pump and,
generally, are not adversely affected by ATP inhibitors. Purdue researchers
reported that 14 different acetogenins tested thus far demonstrate potent
ATP-blocking properties (including several found only in graviola). They also
reported that 13 of these 14 acetogenins tested were more potent against MDR
breast cancer cells than all three of the standard drugs (adriamycin,
vincristine, and vinblastine) they used as controls.
The Annonaceous acetogenins discovered in graviola thus far
include: annocatalin, annohexocin, annomonicin, annomontacin, annomuricatin A
& B, annomuricin A thru E, annomutacin, annonacin, annonacinone,
annopentocin A thru C, cis-annonacin, cis-corossolone, cohibin A thru D,
corepoxylone, coronin, corossolin, corossolone, donhexocin, epomuricenin A &
B, gigantetrocin, gigantetrocin A & B, gigantetrocinone, gigantetronenin,
goniothalamicin, iso-annonacin, javoricin, montanacin, montecristin, muracin A
thru G, muricapentocin, muricatalicin, muricatalin, muri-catenol, muricatetrocin
A & B muricatin D, muricatocin A thru C muricin H, muricin I, muricoreacin,
murihexocin 3, murihexocin A thru C, murihexol, murisolin, robustocin,
rolliniastatin 1 & 2, saba-delin, solamin, uvariamicin I & IV,
xylomaticin
Biological Activites and Clinical Research
In an 1976 plant screening program by the National Cancer
Institute, graviola leaves and stem showed active toxicity against cancer cells
and researchers have been following up on these findings since. Thus far,
specific acetogenins in graviola and/or extracts of graviola have been reported
to be selectively toxic in vitro to these types of tumor cells: lung
carcinoma cell lines; human breast solid tumor lines; prostate adenocarcinoma;
pancreatic carcinoma cell lines; colon adenocarcinoma cell lines; liver cancer
cell lines; human lymphoma cell lines; and multi-drug resistant human breast
adenocarcinoma. Researchers in Taiwan reported in 2003 that the main graviola
acetogenin, annonacin, was highly toxic to ovarian, cervical, breast,
bladder and skin cancer cell lines at very low dosages saying; “. . .
annonacin is a promising anti-cancer agent and worthy of further animal studies
and, we would hope, clinical trials.”
An interesting in vivo study was published in March of 2002 by
researchers in Japan, who were studying various acetogenins found in several
species of plants. They inoculated mice with lung cancer cells. One third
received nothing (the control group), one third received the chemotherapy drug
adriamycin, and one third received the main graviola acetogenin, annonacin (at
a dosage of 10 mg/kg). At the end of two weeks, five of the six in the
untreated control group were still alive and lung tumor sizes were then
measured. The adriamycin group showed a 54.6% reduction of tumor mass over the
control group—but 50% of the animals had died from toxicity (three of six).
The mice receiving annonacin were all still alive, and the tumors were
inhibited by 57.9%—slightly better than adriamycin—and without toxicity.
This led the researchers to summarize; “This suggested that annonacin was
less toxic in mice. On considering the antitumor activity and toxicity,
annonacin might be used as a lead to develop a potential anticancer agent.”
Current Practical Uses
Cancer research is ongoing on these important Annona
plants and plant chemicals, as several pharmaceutical companies and universities
continue to research, test, patent, and attempt to synthesize these chemicals
into new chemotherapeutic drugs. In fact, graviola seems to be following the
same path as another well known cancer drug – Taxol. From the time researchers
first discovered an antitumorous effect in the bark of the pacific yew tree and
a novel chemical called taxol was discovered in its bark - it took thirty years
of research by numerous pharmaceutical companies, universities, and government
agencies before the first FDA-approved Taxol drug was sold to a cancer patient
(which was based on the natural taxol chemical they found in the tree bark).
With graviola, it has taken researchers almost 10 years to successfully
synthesize (chemically reproduce) the main antitumorous chemical, annonacin.
These acetogenin chemicals have a unique waxy center and other unique molecular
energy properties which thwarted earlier attempts, and at least one major
pharmaceutical company gave up in the process (despite knowing how active the
natural chemical was against tumors). Now that scientists have the ability to
recreate this chemical and several other active acetogenins in the laboratory,
the next step is to change the chemical just enough (without losing any of the
antitumorous actions in the process) to become a novel chemical which can be
patented and turned into a new patented cancer drug. (Naturally-occurring plant
chemicals cannot be patented.) Thus far, scientists seem to be thwarted
again—every time they change the chemical enough to be patentable, they lose
much of the antitumorous actions. Like the development of taxol, it may well
take government agenies like the National Cancer Institute and the National
Institute of Health to step forward and launch full-scale human cancer research
on the synthesized unpatentable natural plant chemical (which will allow any
pharmaceutical company to develop a cancer drug utilizing the research as
happened with taxol) to be able to make this promising therapy available to
cancer patients in a timely fashion.
In the meantime, many cancer patients and health
practitioners are not waiting… they are adding the natural leaf and stem of
graviola (with over 40 documented naturally-occurring acetogenins including
annonacin) as a complementary therapy to their cancer protocols. After all,
graviola has a long history of safe use as a herbal remedy for other conditions
for many years, and research indicates that the antitumorous acetogenins are
selectively toxic to just cancer cells and not healthy cells—and in miniscule
amounts. While research confirms that these antitumorous acetogenins also occur
in high amounts in the fruit seeds and roots of graviola, different alkaloid
chemicals in the seeds and roots have shown some preliminary in vitro
neurotoxic effects. Researchers have suggested that these alkaloids might be
linked to atypical Parkinson’s disease in countries where the seeds are
employed as a common herbal parasite remedy. Therefore, using the seeds and root
of graviola is not recommended at this time.
The therapuetic dosage of graviola leaf, (which offers just
as high of an amount of acetogenins as the root and almost as much as the seed)
is reported to be 2-3 grams taken 3 or 4 times daily. Graviola products
(capsules and tinctures) are becoming more widely available in the U.S. market,
and now offered under several different manufacturer’s labels in health food
stores. As one of graviola’s mechanisms of action is to deplete ATP energy to
cancer cells, combining it with other supplements and natural products which
increase or enhance cellular ATP may reduce the effect of graviola. The main
supplement which increases ATP is a common antioxidant called Coenzyme Q10 and
for this reason, it should be avoided when taking graviola.
Graviola is certainly a promising natural remedy and one that
again emphasizes the importance of preserving our remaining rainforest
ecosystems. Perhaps—if enough people believe that the possible cure for cancer
truly is locked away in a rainforest plant—we will take the steps needed to
protect our remaining rainforests from destruction. One researcher studying
graviola summarized this idea eloquently: “At the time of preparation of this
current review, over 350 Annonaceous acetogenins have been isolated from 37
species. Our preliminary efforts show that about 50%, of over 80 Annonaceous
species screened, are significantly bioactive and are worthy of fractionation;
thus, this class of compounds can be expected to continue to grow at an
exponential rate in the future, provided that financial support for such
research efforts can be found. With the demise of the world’s tropical rain
forests, such work is compelling before the great chemical diversity, contained
within these endangered species, is lost.”

Chapter 1
How many people died in vain
while this billion-dollar
drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?
If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the
existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it's
the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.
The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a
tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of
the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival. The future has
never looked more promising.
Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous
tree it now may be possible to...
| Attack cancer safely and effectively with an
all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight
loss and hair loss
| Protect your immune system and avoid deadly
infections
| Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of
the treatment
| Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life |
| | |
The source of this information is just as stunning: It
comes from one of America's largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20
laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's! What those tests revealed was
nothing short of mind numbing... Extracts from the tree were shown to:
| Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12
types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic
cancer.
| The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000
times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin,
a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
| What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound
extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and
kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells! |
| |
The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively
researched--so why haven't you heard anything about it? If Graviola extract is
as half as promising as it appears to be--why doesn't every single oncologist at
every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients?
The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health--and for
many, our very lives (!)--are controlled by money and power.
Graviola--the
plant that worked too well
One of America's biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a
cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree
from the Amazon Rainforest.
Various parts of the Graviola tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit
and fruit-seeds--have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians
in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.
Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money
and resources into testing the tree's anti-cancerous properties--and were
shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.
But that's where the Graviola story nearly ended.
The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree--it's completely
natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There's no way to make
serious profits from it.
It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to
synthesize two of the Graviola tree's most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If
they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so
potent, they'd be able to patent it and make their money back. Alas, they hit a
brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated. There was no way the
company could protect its profits--or even make back the millions it poured into
research.
As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a
screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose
not to publish the findings of its research!
Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team
whose conscience wouldn't let him see such atrocity committed. Risking his
career, he contacted a company that's dedicated to harvesting medical plants
from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.
Miracle unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of
Graviola, they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree.
Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola--and its shocking
cover-up--came in fast and furious...
...The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in
1976. The results showed that Graviola's "leaves and stems were found
effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells." Inexplicably,
the results were published in an internal report and never released to the
public...
...Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in
20 independent laboratory tests--yet no double-blind clinical trials, the
typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment's
value--were ever initiated...
...A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a
recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one
chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at
"10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug)
Adriamycin..."
...The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report
is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells leaving
healthy cells untouched. Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets
all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the
often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.
...A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola
tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially
effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers...
Seven years of Silence
Broken--it's finally here!
A limited supply of Graviola extract, grown and harvested by indigenous
people in Brazil, is finally available in America. The full Graviola
story--including where you can get it and how to use it--is included in Beyond

There's absolutely no
reason
in the world you should suffer
from arthritis! None!
This new remedy may be just a small addition in a long
line of major recent discoveries, but the relief it offers arthritics is nothing
short of revolutionary. In fact, we have never seen anything even remotely like
it before...
Until now. Our research has uncovered a completely safe
and natural food extract that may be the most powerful anti-inflammatory
compound ever discovered.
"I appreciate
your newsletter. I love reading honest, informational issues on
health. You are helping everyone become a more knowledged individual
in this muddled world"
-- Leslie M.
|
The new discoveries, glucosamine and chondroitin, may be
hard to pronounce, but they spell amazing relief and hope because they've opened
the door to what was once unthinkable: possible reversal of arthritis!
These compounds, however, fail to provide arthritis
sufferers with a few important benefits needed badly: pain relief and reduction
of inflammation.
These are bigger problems than you might think. You see,
the NSAID painkillers arthritis sufferers habitually take (such as ibuprofen) do
more harm than just wreak havoc on the stomach and kidneys. They can actually
make arthritis worse.
The second shortcoming of glucosamine and chondroitin is
that they leave a major hole in coverage when applied to rheumatoid arthritis.
They don't prevent inflammatory compounds from invading and destroying the
joints.
Fortunately, there's been a surprising discovery...
Both types of
arthritis pain vanish!
"Miracle food" shrinks swollen joints!
A leading researcher from Australia had spent his life
studying the world's strongest arthritis drugs, and this new discovery surprised
even him when just a small dose shrank inflamed joints by 93 to 97 percent! This
could make drugs appear almost obsolete...
Next he benchmarked it against a standard rheumatoid
arthritis drug, indomethicin. The new discovery easily trounced this dangerous
drug with none of the harsh side effects.
|
"I am also very grateful
to have found HSI!! I find that I want alternative solutions to health
problems. Conventional medicine has its place. With all of their
technology, they can diagnose illnesses with great accuracy, but as far
as curing any type of serious condition such as heart disease and
cancer, their treatments are not effective, and at best, may or may not
extend a person's life for only a short time."
-- Mary R.
|
According to another researcher from Australia, we're
looking at "a very major breakthrough." That's because this new
miracle shuts down a "pain highway" in your body--preventing the chain
reaction that stokes the fires of all kinds of inflammation-- including both
rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.
Researchers call this "the 5-lipoxygenase
pathway." It's practically the Rosetta Stone of pain and inflammation that
drug companies have spent billions trying, but no one's been able to crack it.
The only drugs that have shown any hope proved too poisonous to take. So what is
this miraculous medicine? Well, it's not a medicine...but a gourmet delicacy.
On the beautiful coastline of New Zealand lives the
green-lipped mussel. The native Maori who live there believe that eating the
green-lipped mussel leads to a long and healthy life. And they are right;
Coastal Maori hardly ever get any kind of arthritis even as they aged living
well into their 70's, 80's, and 90's arthritis-free.
But now you can share in this miracle without resigning
yourself to a diet of green-lipped mussels. Because scientists have now homed in
on the molecule in this mussel that does the magic. It's totally natural and is
it powerful. Even a minute amount blows the doors off ibuprofen and aspirin, and
it's 200 times stronger than the next-best natural remedy.
Maybe you've heard that fish oil can relieve arthritis
inflammation? It does a good job, but when they tested the very highest potency
fish oil supplement against this "mussel molecule"...the mussel
extract worked 200 times better.
The result is a product that brings incredible pain
relief--and with it, freedom to move again--without harmful side- effects. No
other arthritis treatment can do that.
Health Sciences Institute was among the first to learn
about this new product. And, HSI was able to obtain an unprecedented commitment
by the manufacturer to reserve a block of the first available shipment
exclusively for HSI members--so they all had first dibs! For full details and

What manufacturers of
cholesterol-lowering drugs
desperately don't want you to know!
The following facts regarding anti- cholesterol
drugs were reported at the annual meeting of the American Heart
Association:
1. For most people, these drugs don't work!
An alarming study of 5,600 patients using cholesterol-lowering drugs
revealed that a full 62% did not reach their target levels at all.
2. The side effects are horrendous. These
include liver toxicity, muscle cramps, nausea, heartburn and hair loss.
Quite a price to pay for something that might not even work.
|
"Thank you for standing up
and speaking forth the truth. I appreciate you and all those who are
associated with you in faithfully laboring for the freedom of our
rights to know what is going on in the medical fields! Our prayers
are with you all. Keep up the good work!."
--Robert L.
|
3. Anti-cholesterol drugs diminish your mental
capacity! Doctors who studied adults using cholesterol-lowering drugs
found that the medications are "making their patients
stupid"--literally! After just six months of use, the study group
showed a marked decline in their mental sharpness as well as their attention
span.
There is a very good reason why you've most likely
heard nothing about this. The manufacturers of those drugs use their
financial clout to make sure you never will. But that's not the worst of it.
Despite these disturbing findings, the drug
makers are now promoting these drugs for patients with normal
cholesterol levels, too!
Luckily, as a member of Health Sciences Institute
you'll never be a mere pawn in the hands of the drug- makers lobby. Readers
of the HSI Members Alert already know they have a much better choice.
They already know there is something that can lower LDL (bad) cholesterol
levels better than any drug...without side effects.
60 times more
effective than vitamin E!
It's a new vitamin, called tocotrienol. I'm sure
you've heard that vitamin E can lower your risk of heart disease. What you
heard is true--with a "but"...
Not all vitamin E supplements are created equal. In
fact, the form of vitamin E sold most widely in stores (alpha-tocopherol) is
about the least effective of them all!
So, you may be buying vitamin E regularly...taking
the pills religiously...and you might as well be taking sugar pills for all
the good it does you. Tocotrienol, however, is different. Very different.
You may already know what antioxidants do. As part
of the process of keeping your body alive, the red blood cells deliver
oxygen to all your body's cells. The oxygen is "packed" inside the
red blood cells bound chemically to their iron molecules. During the
process, some unattached oxidative particles are released into the
bloodstream. These are called "free radicals." These particles
attack the walls of your arteries and nick and chafe them. Cholesterol
molecules now have a foothold to grab onto. The cholesterol build-up is
called plaque and the result is heart disease. Antioxidants, such as vitamin
E, neutralize the free radicals.
Tocotrienol is sixty times more
potent an antioxidant as the most potent vitamin E you could possibly find.
But it does even more than that.
It helps reduce the "clumping" in your
blood. It reduces the "stickiness" of the platelets, that leads to
the hardening of the arteries, blood clots and strokes...and without any
harmful side effects!
Just how "for real" is this new vitamin E?
Doctors who read the Health Sciences Institute Members Alert are using
tocotrienols on themselves to help prevent heart attacks!
Dr. Randall Wilkinson reports, "I started
taking two capsules a day. Thirty days later my LDL cholesterol dropped
23%...I was astonished!"
This new super vitamin E is out now and the Health
Sciences Institute has arranged for members to have direct access. You'll
find the full details in your FREE Urgent Health Alert Library report New
Breakthroughs Against Heart Disease and Stroke.
Tocotrienol is a perfect example of why it's so
important you read the Health Sciences Institute Members Alert every
month:
The drug companies will never admit the truth about
the shortcomings of their products. And, if you think there's little they
can do to prevent people from knowing, think again. When they talk,
Washington and the advertising-starved media listen.
|
...And an
alternative to aspirin therapy, too!!
|
Millions take an
aspirin a day as a blood-thinning regimen. For many, however, this
benefit is hard to stomach. Aspirin is known to cause stomach
irritation.
On top of all the
above benefits, tocotrienol will do the same job as aspirin
does--but without any stomach irritation! Talk about panacea!
|
And your doctor, more times than not, is far too
busy seeing as many patients as he can to really keep on top of things.
Regretfully, far too many doctors succumb to the intense pressure--from
peers and from the drug companies--to tow the line and not make waves. You
have to be very brave to stand up to the medical establishment.
Now, you can be sure you're receiving information
that's cutting edge...reliable AND has your best intentions at heart--by
joining the prestigious ranks of the Health Sciences Institute membership.
Doctors and laymen alike know they can trust the Health
Sciences Institute Members Alert to cover all areas with utmost depth
and accuracy. They know it because the Health Sciences Institute doesn't

Slash 20
years off your age!
You mean increase muscle
mass?...Bolster endurance?...
Supercharge sexual response?...Melt off body fat?...
Restore hair growth?...Slash LDL cholesterol?...
Bolster immune system?...Improve skin texture and regain elasticity?
Remarkable...unthinkable...but
a resounding "Yes!!"
As mind boggling as it may sound, getting older is
natural--but aging is not!
Practically every cell in your body regenerates
every seven years or so. All the mechanisms that made you grow are still in
place. We think aging is normal. But, as more and more longevity research
confirms, aging is actually a correctable malfunction!
You've surely read many articles about new
supplements that help retard the aging process, but the general media is
actually way, way behind the news. Retarding the process is one thing. But
the latest discoveries already show how you can actually reverse your
biological age and become physically younger--with complete safety--today!
The great teasing
fountain of youth
You've probably seen hundreds of books and articles
about such fashionable "youth" hormones as DHEA and melatonin, but
the truth is that these popular supplements are but minor players in the
emerging field of longevity medicine.
While useful and effective, these hormones pale to
insignificance when compared to the "great tease" of the longevity
study field: Human Growth Hormone (HGH). The story has more twists and turns
than a great detective novel, but the result is well worth the wait.
First, there was
the promise--or the tease, if you will...
Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin,
is produced in the pituitary gland on orders from the hypothalamus gland.
HGH holds the key to the aging process. It
stimulates the growth and maintenance of bone tissue and muscle mass. It
also facilitates the repair of damaged DNA within the cell as well as proper
cell division. Low levels of HGH contribute to faster aging while high
levels of HGH slow the aging process and even reverse it.
Dr. Daniel Rudman, a noted longevity researcher,
stunned the world by reporting the results of his experiments with Human
Growth Hormone in The New England Journal of Medicine. He injected
HGH into a study group of 12 elderly men and managed to reverse their
biological age "by 10 to 20 years."
Dr. Rudman administered HGH to his group three times
a week for six months. During that period, Dr. Rudman has recorded a
reduction of their body fat by an average of 14 percent, while lean muscle
mass increased by almost 9 percent. Their skin grew measurably thicker and
more youthful looking and they reported more energy and an increased sex
drive.

"I'm 70 years old and
feel as I did at least back in my 30's."
"After about a month of taking the
treatment, without making any other changes in my lifestyle; I
noticed my body was responding so much better. My allergies, eyes,
nostrils, breathing, energy levels and thinking ability all
improved. Every day I had that top-of-the-world healthy feeling. I'm
70 years old and feel as I did at least back in my 30's. My
movements and abilities to perform have returned to youthful
levels."
L. B. NV
"Goodbye high blood
pressure!"
"Before taking the treatment I had been
on blood pressure medication for years. After taking it for only 2-3
weeks, I was able to stop taking my blood pressure medication. My
blood pressure is now normal."
L. G. Banning, CA
"So long arthritis
pain!"
"I am 81 years old, and before I
started taking the the treatment I was experiencing arthritis pain
and low energy. I have tried many other products that claim to do
the same thing but none of them ever worked. After one month of
taking the treatment, I noticed a decrease in my arthritic pain and
have a lot more energy. I actually want to get out and work instead
of just lay around the house."

Then came the
disappointment
During the seventh month of injections several
subjects developed debilitating carpal tunnel syndrome. Others developed
severe arthritis, high blood pressure, congestive heart disease, and
diabetic-like conditions.

Although the side effects diminished when the drug
was discontinued--so did the benefits. An even greater fear was that
unleashing a stimulated cell growth would also disarm the body's mechanism
that prevents uncontrolled cell division, unleashing tumors and cancer. HGH
seemed like a dead end because of the side effects, so Dr. Rudman stopped
the study. But, by that time, there was no stuffing the genie back into the
bottle.
Dr. Rudman's research unleashed worldwide HGH
research. Studies conducted at every corner of the globe proved beyond doubt
both sides of Dr. Rudman's findings. HGH is for real. It really works--and
it's really dangerous.
But, for some, the promise of a "youth
injection" is too alluring. Even today, there are physicians in America
who "specialize" in HGH anti-aging medicine. They will provide it
to those who can afford it, for around $1,000 a month.
For most people, however, it seemed as if HGH was
just another wistful "fountain of youth" pipe dream...but NOT
anymore! The HGH story actually has a happy ending. A brilliant way has
been found to employ the amazing rejuvenating power of HGH without any of
the dangers.
Here's the full story.
Somatopause: The
stunning discovery
For a very long time the medical world assumed that
the production of growth hormone in the body naturally decreased over the
years. And the only way to get the hormone level up again was the risky and
extremely expensive injection of HGH.
But now, a groundbreaking presentation by Dr. James
Jamison and Dr. L. E. Dorman before the American College for the Advancement
of Medicine in 1997 shattered that myth. And it opened the road to real,
affordable--and safe--age reversal to everyone who wishes it.
What Dr. Jamison and Dr. Dorman found was that the
production of HGH in the body does not decline over the years.
The body continues to produce abundant quantities of HGH well into one's
90's (unless one suffers from a pituitary gland disorder). What declines is
the body's efficiency in releasing the HGH it produces.
What doctors Jamison and Dorman discovered was that
lower levels of HGH over the years are not "normal" but, rather, a
malfunction! This malfunction is called somatopause. It's a
condition under which the body gradually loses its ability to rejuvenate
itself the way it should.
Getting old is NOT
normal!
This groundbreaking research concluded that if a way
was found to allow the body to release its own HGH, aging would halt
automatically. There is no need to inject HGH into the body at all.
Similarly, it was proven that, while foreign Human
Growth Hormone was potentially dangerous, the body's own natural HGH was
completely safe. So, if there was a way to unleash the body's own natural
HGH, there will be no side effects or risks involved. And that way was
found.
Finally: The end
of aging
Dr. Jamison and Dr. Dorman have concentrated their
efforts on natural substances called secretagogues. These substances reverse
the decline in the body's ability to release its own HGH. They have
identified several natural compounds that, working together, enhance the
body's production, release and utilization of HGH.
The result of their research was a compound that
includes specific amino acids, proteins, and botanical extracts. This
compound stimulates receptors in the pituitary and hypothalamus glands and
help release the body's own sequestered stores of growth hormone.
The results were stunning. A study that included 36
people has shown that the new compound exceeds the benefits of HGH
injections...without side effects OR the $1,000 a month price tag!
Researchers measured the HGH levels in the group
participants' blood and their numbers where overwhelming. HGH levels in the
blood rose a whopping 30% naturally over a period of 12 weeks. But the study
participants themselves required no academic data to tell them this amazing
compound was working.
After as little as four weeks all the study
participants reported improved energy, endurance and body composition.
After eight weeks the participants reported new hair growth, restoration

The
end of osteoporosis
Increase
bone mass...avoid fracture...
eliminate pain...without drugs or HRT!!
There are two ways the medical world deals
with osteoporosis. The first way is estrogen hormone replacement
therapy. The second is a drug called alendronate sodium. Each way
has its different pros and cons, but they both have one thing in
common: suspect performance, fraught with side effects which, at
times, can be as bad--or worse--as the evil they're meant to
prevent.

drop you a note and express my appreciation for your
newsletter. I know you spend a lot of time putting this
together, and I, for one, really enjoy each of them. In
fact, I have started saving them for future reference.
Thanks again. You're doing a great job."

Estrogen therapy is dangerous because the
amount of estrogen needed to stave off osteoporosis is also
sufficient to bring about excessive bleeding, breast pain, and an
alarmingly increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
"Low dose
estrogen therapy," aimed at reducing those risks, like so many
compromises, falls flat. It may ward off hot flashes and other
hormone-associated symptoms--but alas, it won't prevent
osteoporosis.
Evista (raloxifene) appears to be effective
in helping prevent osteoporosis. Unfortunately, it does it while
driving the risk of serious blood clot formation sky high and
bringing back menstrual periods in postmenopausal women. Worse yet,
the very FDA panel that approved the drug noted that risks of breast
cancer have not been ruled out.
Luckily, you may not need either of them.
Soy's
latest healing secret
Soy contains natural chemicals that have
been shown to protect against many types of cancer and coronary
artery disease, boost immune system function and relieve symptoms of
menopause. To those miracles, a new one has now been added: the
osteoporosis killer.
The substance
is called ipriflavone. Over 60 human clinical studies in
Europe and Japan have brought to light an amazing discovery. Not
only was ipriflavone shown to have the power to bring about a
significant reduction in vertebral bone loss, studies at the
Budapest University have proven it actually reverses bone damage and
dramatically reduces pain.
Another study from the University of
Bologna, Italy showed that when added to the regimen of women
undergoing hormone replacement therapy, ipriflavone causes a
significant boost in bone density, far and beyond that achieved on
estrogen alone.
But perhaps
more significant than anything, ipriflavone has shown not to cause
estrogenic activity in any other organs other than the bones! But of
course, always check with your doctor and be sure to have your blood
counts monitored while taking ipriflavone.
The meaning of all that is very clear:
Ipriflavone is a radical breakthrough in the fight against
osteoporosis. Ipriflavone can--and does--help to mitigate the trauma
and pain of osteoporosis and prevents unnecessary deaths.
NOTE: To those sensitive to soy:
You can enjoy the full benefit of
ipriflavone without worry. Once separate from the soy, ipriflavone DOES
NOT cause any digestive difficulties in people sensitive to soy.

"I learned more
information about dieting and weight loss from one
newsletter of yours than I have all of the others totaled
together. I have rode the roller coaster so many times
trying to lose weight, it is more like a high- speed
elevator with only two stops, "bottomed out" and
"through the roof"! Thanks for the newsletter,
it's worth its weight in gold."

The
three dangerous myths
of the herpes virus:
1.
You don't have herpes
2. Herpes is no big deal.
3. There's nothing you can do
Most people "know" herpes. They
know it to be the sores, lesions, chicken pox, or shingles some
unfortunate people get as a result of stress, infection, or other
diseases. They think either you have herpes or you don't. They
also know that, while herpes is no fun, in most cases, it's not a
big deal either.
Most people are wrong. Dangerously wrong.
Up to 90% of the population carry the herpes
virus--and have been from the age of 10 years or younger! The vast
majority simply don't know it. In most people, the virus is dormant.
But, that doesn't make it any less dangerous. Science is learning,
with growing alarm, that the herpes virus is linked to an
ever-growing list of very serious ailments. Some, you'd have never
guessed.
